THE ROLLING STONES - SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL (1968) In 1968 The Rolling Stones were increasingly flirting with a satanic public image. In Sympathy for the Devil -perhaps the most notorious and controversial Stones song Mick Jagger was the narrator, naturally, taking on the role of the devil himself. A compelling African-like rhythm pounded out on conga drums introduces the track, the air of uneasy menace established by echoed yelps and grunts. Along with rumbling piano, those drums continue to underscore the tune, and after the first verse, Jagger is joined by soulful, wordless, high backup vocals that are both catchy and creepy. The song is ingrained as part of the Stones image.
